I am writing in support of Jeff Doyle’s candidacy for the Select Board of Hopkinton. I have known Jeff for his whole life and have always been impressed by his personable and welcoming demeanor and his positive, can-do attitude. Most importantly, Jeff is a man of deep integrity with a strong moral compass and a profound desire to give back to his community in meaningful ways.

Jeff comes from a large extended family with deep roots in the town of Hopkinton and a long history of service. He is committed to honoring and continuing that legacy of service to the community. Jeff and his young family moved to Hopkinton because of his strong connections to this town and to fulfill his dream of raising his family in the town he has been proud to call home.

As a member of the Select Board, Jeff would undoubtedly lead with conviction, compassion and respect for all. He listens and seeks to understand the needs of the community and make well-considered and responsible decisions after careful review. Jeff looks toward the future with reflection of the past. He demonstrates a sincere willingness to thoughtfully manage growth and change, while keeping in mind the small-town character that makes Hopkinton so special.

Please cast your vote on May 19 for Jeff Doyle. He will not let you down.

— Cheryl Elder, Hopkinton
